The Creative Citizens work programme formally ends in February 2015, but we still have a busy programme of publishing, talking and seeking ways to carry the work forward. In January, Principal Investigator Ian Hargreaves made a presentation to the Connected Communities Strategic Advisory Board, which generated a lively discussion about a number of issues: the nature of collaborative creativity; the role of leadership in co-creative projects; divergent futures on technology and much more. The can see the slides here.... They include some of the photos taken at the Creative Citizens Conference in September 2014.

The progress of civilization, supported by the development of new technologies, has led to a series of social, economic and political changes. The information society, in its expectations and through access to knowledge, has significantly affected a change in the model of democracy, causing a kind of return to the original forms of communication in citizen-government relations. This has been accompanied by a shift of social and civic activism from the real to the virtual world. In literature, the use of information and communication technologies in the democratic system is named electronic democracy. One of its forms is e-politics, which is implemented at several levels: institutional, system and civil. A good example of the last type are the new social movements that in recent years have had a significant impact on politics. The basic research problem in this paper concerns e-politics from the citizens’ perspective, through the activities of the new social movements, especially of a political nature. The main research goal is therefore to present the role of social networking tools in influencing citizens and their subsequent activities that have triggered changes in the political system. The methods used in the paper are case study and comparative analysis.

Chapter 13 Politics and New Media Objectives To understand: How the shift towards narrowcasting and digital media might change the nature of political participation How online media are creating a new space and a new set of challenges for the conduct of political debate How the shift towards a greater degree of social and political surveillance may alter the broader political landscape How myths of the digital sublime shape our views of electronic democracy How media and new media tools are central to advancing social and political economic change Web 2.0 Structuration and the End of Politics Argument for democratic emancipatory potential of the Internet In reality, there is a shrinking of a public sphere Within the capitalist market economy, there is a contradiction between the formal equality of political participation and the inequalities of income and opportunity that define the relationships of the market Web 2.0 Structuration and the End of Politics, cont’d Media’s relationship with political power—an unofficial watchdog role, acting as a series of checks and balances on those who exercise power Political economy analysis suggests “democracy” is tolerated by big business as long as real control is off-limits to popular deliberation Leaps in Logic? An idealized view of the democratizing power of the Internet is a hopeful prediction; however, this requires leaps in logic: Internet is no less susceptible to being manipulated by political parties and sectional interest groups than the current system Issues under consideration in politics online are still determined by those in power positions and do not necessarily address key issues for a broader community The control of sites by those who wish to promote their own interests will greatly diminish the credibility of the polling results within political circles Leaps in Logic? cont’d E-democracy People make their own history, just not within conditions of their choosing Structuration: structures may be formal (laws, policies, regulations), formalized (in institutions or organizations), or relatively informal (class, gender or race) Degree of agency that one can exercise is dependent on these structures, but the human ability to exercise this agency means that they can be changed New media are contemporary tools used in this process The Internet as an Election Campaign Tool Beginning of twenty-first century: politicians in Canada began to embrace the significance and power of using the Internet to reach constituents The Internet has become an increasingly necessary tool Cost efficiency Relative lack of regulation control Production simplicity Swift narrowcasting via active interaction with the individual New technologies in election campaigns are not always used to expand the voter base; sometimes they are used to suppress it Online Politics and the Reportorial Community Digital media convergence is shifting the borders of the reportorial community B ...

The Impact Of Blogging On Society And Politics

Luc Van Braekel

This paper is analytical in approach and draws various conclusions from the present-day media and its functioning. Media plays critical role in strengthening of Democracy but at the same time can be impediment also if not properly managed and given enough freedom to operate. Media is also called the fourth pillar of Democracy and gives space to criticism, dissent and questioning skill to electorate against the people in power. This paper argues that media in times of populism and authoritarianism is in for a serious overhaul and change. Media is very difficult to be found independent and working in conducive environment. Populism and authoritarians stifles dissent and criticism and manages the media in order to sell its own agenda. Post Covid-19 this phenomenon has gotten worse and the pandemic has aggravated the situation.
